| Special Correspondence Of he Sunday Register
SrEUBENvILLE, O., August 27.--Tbc
Committee appointed by Council TO inves,
tigate the charges preferred by Charley
Blinu against Fire Chief Nicholson, held 8
meeting Wednesday night. 1t was star
chamber agar, newspaper reporters,
Blinn's attorneys, and even the witnesses
were excluded, each one being required to
retire rs soon rs he Ind finished his evi.
dence. The Committee may have held
the secret session from good motives, but
it will take good deal of explanation Ia
satisfy an American people that it is nee
eSsary to transact business, where every
thing is fair and square, with locked doors
for fear a whisper OF what is being done
will reach outside eaIs Freemen have n
horror of anything that in any way re-
sembles the actions of the Spanish inqui-
sition. The Committee will likely make q
report to Council at its next meeting, held
Wednesday evening and then the public
will have an opportunity OF learning what
action they determined to take.
The different committees on the Street
Fair held meeting this week and the ac-
ton taken by each was reviewed, and it
was found that everything was moving
along in the most harmonious manner.
The report of the ladies committee particu-
larly made good showing. The pamph-
let containing the list of premiums is be-
ing printed as rapidly rs possible. The
list already comprises almost everything
grown or manufactured in this section of
the country, and the offerings are coming
in daily.
The Union Veteran Legion, the Daugh-
tiers of the Union Veteran Legion and the
Sons Of Veterans in q body attended the
big soldiers reunion at Wheeling on Fri
day. The G. A. r. did not 60. The rea-
son is probably best known to its mem
bers.
4 large number OF Steubenyille people
attended the railroad picnic at Dennison
on Thursday. Between the big reunion at
Wheeling and the picnic at Dennison,
Steubenville came near being depopulated.
Merchants declared Thursday and Friday
were the dullest days they have exper-
fenced for years.
On one square on North Fourth street,
between Market and Washington, ten
handsome new store rooms are being built.
None of them are yet completed, but every
one is leased. If this is not an evidence of
business prosperity, will some of the croak-
ers who are constantly declaring that
Steubenville is dead please say what it is.
The new hall of Steuben Lodge, No. /,
Knights Of Pythiss, being erected on the
corner of Fourth and Market streets, is
now under root, and everything looks as
as if the Knights will get in it by the first
of October. A committee will 80 to Col
umbus next week to examine the hall of
that city with view of getting pointers
that will be of service in the furnishing of
the new hall. 1t is proposed to make it
one of the finest halls III the country.
The ROYAL Gas Company will shortly be-
ging the laying Of second pipe line from
their gas fields 10 this city. The increased
demand for gas makes second line neces-
sary.
Justice Keys and mother on Thursday
left for the sea shore.

will be employed.
The glass industry of Sweden is more
important than that of Norway, the pro-
duction being sufficiently large TO supply
domestic requirements to a great extent,
and to allow a fair quantity being exported

not remarkable, attention being mostly
given to inferior descriptions There are
about seventy-three factories engaged in
the manufacture OF window glass, bottles

The Industrial situation in Wheeling
remains unchanged from last week, but
now that the hig Reunion is over and the
attention centred upon it is turned back
into the channels OF business. We may
expect to see change Cor the better in the
very near future
A Pittsburs reporter asked leading
nail manufacturer question, What OBJ

Nail Association holding monthly meet

Immediately sell 4 long made lot on hand.
The Pittsburg nails are about all alike.
There are thee standard nail firms, and
they each make steel or iron nails, but the
